Our Services

Cargo Handling

We handle all types of cargo – palletized, bags, boxes, bulk, agricultural, marble, hazardous, scrap etc. Our workers are fully trained on different requirements, and we provide all the required safety gear, such as high visibility vests, steel toed boots, helmets, gloves etc. We have trained operators for using diesel and battery forklifts to assist in cargo handling.

Union Management

We work with both unionized and non-unionized labourers. On behalf of our clients, we deal with the Unions, their demands, their concerns and any legal cases. Essentially, we act as the barrier providing a line of separation between our clients, and the Unions. We also ensure 100% statutory compliance of all Labourers. We currently deal with some of the largest unions across India.
